New Year’s Eve Traditions

I love the thought of a fresh start and new digits but the actual celebration has way too much pressure associated with it. One of my favorite NYE memories was when my now husband had bags filled with surprise food and recipes for us to make for dinner that night. I’m also very superstitious when it comes to the New Year so I follow some pretty odd traditions from around the world with hopes of bringing good luck as the clock strikes midnight. These traditions include:

1. Eating 12 grapes at midnight-a Spanish tradition which symbolizes 12 lucky months in the year.
2. Money in my pocket when the clock strikes midnight-ensures you bring wealth into the New Year.
3. Wear specific colored underwear-yellow brings good luck, red brings romance, and green brings prosperity. Try and beat the system by getting a pair with all 3!
4. Walk a suitcase around your house-this will ensure you travel in the upcoming year.
5. Clean your house-this guarantees a fresh start for the year; sweeping the floors especially rids your home of any negativity. Also be sure your pantry is full so you start the year with abundance.
6. Eat black eyed peas-this has nothing to do with Fergie, it’s a southern tradition for a prosperous year.
7. Get a haircut-this is a personal one that I made up but feel makes sense. You don’t want to bring in the New Year with dead ends which represent dead ends in life so be sure to get a fresh chop before NYE!

We will be heading to Mexico for New Year’s (I know I said I don’t make a big deal which is why we are heading out!). Whether you are going to a big party or staying at home, your life deserves sparkle in it so take a look at my favorite pieces below for some inspiration. I hope 2018 treats you well![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Sparkly Suggestions” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24|text_align:center” google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_images_carousel images=”3931,3935,3937,3941,3932,3938,3936,3940,3942″ img_size=”full” onclick=”custom_link” custom_links_target=”_blank” slides_per_view=”5″ hide_pagination_control=”yes” custom_links=”#E-8_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”][vc_column_text]
